Our city Marshall does not get full.
He is not that kind of man. He is
strictly temperance and has, SO far
filled his position as marshall and street
commissioner to the satisfaction of the
people. The school graduates are
huffy on account of their names not
being spelled correctly. Miss Sena
Thomas says"it was done on purpose. "
Miss Eta Kindrick says "the writer
didn't know any better than 10 spell
the names that way and Miss Lydia
Wright said that johnnie was not n
graduate of the Potosi High School, SO
did not know any better. The gen.
tleman graduate Mr.. Leo Elscamp said
she could wipe the floor with the fell
low that called him such Names" and
that wife of mine said she always
thought was fool and that last week $
items proved it.

nections soon with all points in Grant
Co. Capt. Beebe is pushing the mat
